Exclusive Barley Beerstro Popping Up in a 'Barley Field' at Barbican Conservatory

Jimmy Doherty has partnered with AB InBev to bring the
countryside to the city through a unique immersive eating experience,
celebrating the superfood 'Barley' - a key natural ingredient in beer.

What: The Barley Beerstro is bringing the countryside to the
city this July, serving long lunches right in the middle of a 'barley field'
created with real barley and technology, with a six course tasting menu
designed by farmer and food personality Jimmy Doherty. Launching at Barbican
Conservatory, London, the unique pop-up restaurant will be available to the
public and will be accompanied by some of the world's most popular Global and
speciality beers.

The menu will pay homage to the natural ingredients found in
beer, with particular emphasis on barley. Barley is a key ingredient in beer
and a super-food containing many nutrients, minerals and vitamins. It is rich
in energy, low in fat and high in antioxidants*. The one of a kind six course
tasting menu created by Jimmy Doherty will be paired with the flavour profiles
of a variety of world class beers as selected by Beer Sommelier Jane Peyton,
including Stella Artois, Boddingtons, Leffe Brune, Goose Island IPA, Spaten
Helles and Budweiser.

The immersive restaurant experience, which includes the
sounds and sights of a barley field, from the Great Tew Estate, will begin with
a demonstration for guests to create one of the menu's dishes while learning
more about the 'supergrain' barley and enjoying 'a-beer-itifs'. This will be followed by a full lunch where
visitors can sample the entirety of Jimmy's menu and enjoy a nice cold beer in
the beautiful surroundings of a barley field in Barbican conservatory.

From starter to dessert, each of the six courses will be
meticulously designed to bring the superfood barley to life and celebrate the
natural ingredients that make beer such a unique and versatile beverage.

Each lunch seats 30 and there will be two long lunches
available, with an additional session at Jimmy's farm as a finale later in the
year.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time.

Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid .

Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then ad…
